Description
When the clipboard is not empty (content has been placed there, either by the user or by an app) and editable field is focused or the cursor is automatically placed into such editable field (then also the keyboard shows up), no menu is shown. The user has to long press the cursor to receive a menu. Also it should not matter, whether the editable field is empty or not. The user is allowed quickly paste content together and the user is not limited to write into the field with the cursor menu open, if required so. Then the user has to - of course - activate the cursor menu to PASTE themselves.
What is the improved behavior?
When cursor menu would be open, the user may place the content right away into the field. Also, there is no limitation to start writing and ignore the cursor menu -- as to date.
What does it bring?
User convenience, quicker editing. No limitation to those, who wish to write into the focused field. There is no other cursor menu items or option available to my knowledge, if the field to edit is empty and the clipboard is non-empty.
Examples
I wish such behavior as a companion to my password manager mainly. When I copy a password/username field and focus onto the app to be logged in and onto the field I have to place the content, I additionally have to long press the cursor place to receive the cursor menu and place the content. If the cursor menu comes up conditionally on non-empty clipboard, I/others would save time.
Validation
Copy (text) content in one app or fill the clipboard a different way. Focus into another app with field to enter Focus the cursor (place it in the field) Cursor menu shall come up, and "PASTE" shall be visible and offered to the user.
